welcome

AFTER A YEAR OF PUBLISHING OUR SISTER MAGAZINE, The House, I knew our part in the wedding industry was coming soon. Our team has a knack for bringing unique and artful content to our audience with a focus on the creative community. We're passionate about bringing their story to light, and it's been our job since the moment we started the journey. That's why it was easy to apply this to an industry that was built from some of the most talented people on the planet - your wedding vendors. Weddings are one of the most intimate events of your life, so putting together a team you personally connect with is so important to the planning process for that day. This is where we are different from all other wedding publications. Our goal is to not only bring you the best inspiration in the business, but it's also to tell the stories behind the people and the brands you are looking to add to your wedding planning family. We are now the best place to get to know them first.

Because of the enormous amount of talent in this industry, putting this issue together was extremely difficult for me. I spent countless hours reviewing submissions, and scrolling through hundreds of images. I eventually concluded that I have never been this numbed to indecision in my life. I am completely humbled by the beautiful work that has appeared in my inbox. Deciding which photos to place on these pages was beyond difficult. However, please remember you are not limited to what you see in this print edition. Our website carries a massive amount of images from the features you see here, as well as a number of additional real weddings, editorial shoots and interviews - a major resource available at your fingertips that is constantly publishing new materials.

To the vendors who submitted their work for this issue, participated in the cover competition, and who are currently featured on our website - thank you. You have helped bring my vision for this magazine to life. We will always be a quality place for you to share your work with the world.

If you are a planning bride or a groom, a family member or a friend, we hope that this magazine becomes your favorite place to find the inspiration that will make your wedding uniquely yours. To ensure you do not miss the latest and greatest, please remember to subscribe to The House Weddings newsletter to receive free, exclusive extras conveniently delivered to your inbox. Subscribers also receive access to special discounts on exciting product releases we have in the works, sneak peeks to our upcoming issues, and a front row seat to the best advice from experts in the industry.

Congratulations to anyone who is planning a wedding now or in the future. We are thrilled you are here with us and are so grateful to be a part of this time in your life - we hope you enjoy our first issue.
